I hate it when everyone accuses me of leading him astray. I would never do that. He tags along with me and he doesn't mine what I do. He seems keen to copy me anyway. I do admit that I use him sometimes to get out of trouble, Like that time when it was History week in school and I decided to sell some crisps as they were banned. He helped me out and he didn't mind when I dumped the crisps on him and ran off when I saw Miss McFall. Then no more than two hours later, I had gotten myself and him high on magic mushrooms from the woods, Well I think they were magic mushrooms anyway. The world went strange after I had taken them, But it was okay because he was there with me, Right by my side.
You're probably wondering if I have a soft spot for him. I can admit I did yes. Why did I say did and not do? Simple, I already expressed my feelings and kissed him. He did kiss back and it made me happy, But he later admitted that he only kissed back so I wouldn't be sad.
We're still friends after that, Which I suppose I am grateful for. I haven't had a friend in a long time, So I can thank him for that.
There's one thing I can never say out loud and it hurts me every time I think about it.
"I love you Darren Hughes"
